I am so proud of my University.
It is a place where you can double major in Religious Studies and Economics, or Music and Biology.
I gripe a lot about the lack of academic interest on the part of the student body. But I am surrounded by young scholars winning internationally renowned scholarships left and right.
And I respect my professors.
And our baseball team is #1 in the country!
These things I take for granted at the University of Virginia. But you know, it really is an uncommon place.
Congratulations to the graduating class. Can't wait to lie on the lawn and yell WA HOO WAH.
Where does all this pride come from? Maybe from the sharp contrast with the universities here. I am still failing to accept cultural differences. Once again I have asked for a heart open enough to be present for these "final exercises" of my own. Hopefully this time around I don't get smacked so hard!
